'Arx Fatalis' - 1.21 Patches Available NOW

The mysterious world of Arx has been shrouded in darkness ever since the sun disappeared in the year 226 and the son of King Poxsellis moved the whole city underground into the dwarf mines. There are over 40 different races that co-habit the mines including goblins, dwarves, ratmen and giant spiders and tension between them all is building. Now the evil cult of Akbaa seeks to raise a terrifying god to rule the land. Travelling from another dimension and suffering from total amnesia, the player is confronted by a world on the brink of disaster and must save both himself and Arx before the force of evil is summoned to impose his reign of terror.

Fixed an issue with the game locking-up when opening player inventory.

Fixed length of cinemascope bars displayed during cinematics.

Fixed some performance issues with a few Nvidia GPU (see Notes).

Notes:

If you experience in game framerate drops or stuttering, please give a try to the "Enable Rendering Fix" option in the Video settings.

This patch will remain the very last Arx Fatalis update released by Arkane Studios. However, the whole source code of the game is now available for download, which means that numerous fan made updates/mods may be found around the Internet. Arkane Studios won't provide any kind of answer or support regarding community developed content.

Fixed the text font not being displayed on recent hardware configurations.

Fixed a specific crash on spells use.

Tweaked the Fireball spell damage rule, to make it less powerful & more balanced.

Fixed a bug where the game would quit if the ESC key was pressed during the New Game fade to black.

The mysterious world of Arx has been shrouded in darkness ever since the sun disappeared in the year 226 and the son of King Poxsellis moved the whole city underground into the dwarf mines. There are over 40 different races that co-habit the mines including goblins, dwarves, ratmen and giant spiders and tension between them all is building.
